The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical
vehicle condition. The body control module (BCM) generates the
audible warnings. The following lists the audible warning priority
and the pulse rate:
- Fast rate chime--200 pulses per minute
- Medium rate chime--150 pulses per minute
- Slow rate chime--50 pulses per minute
- Single chime
Fasten Safety Belt Warning
The BCM activates the fasten safety belt audible warning for 5-8
seconds. The fasten safety belt warning sounds and the fasten seat belt
indicator illuminates when the following occurs:
| • | The ignition switch is in RUN, BULB TEST, or START position. |
| • | The BCM detects that the driver's seat belt is not buckled/signal
is low. |
If the seat belt is buckled before the ignition is in RUN, BULB TEST,
or START position, the chime does not sound. If the seat belt is buckled
while the chime is sounding, the chime stops.
Key-In-Ignition Warning
The BCM activates the key-in-ignition audible warning. The key-in-ignition
warning sounds when the following occurs:
| • | The ignition switch is in OFF, LOCK, or ACCY position. |
| • | The body control module (BCM) determines that the driver's door
is open/signal is low. |
| • | The BCM determines that the ignition key alarm switch is closed/signal
is low. |
Lights On Warning
The BCM activates the lights on audible warning. The lights on warning
sounds when the following occurs:
| • | The key is not in the ignition. |
| • | The BCM determines that the driver's door is open/signal is low. |
| • | The BCM determines that the headlamp switch is in the park or
head position. |
